Overview of Powering Our Future
Renewable Energy Curriculum Materials 3 modules 4th-6th 6th-8th High School (solar-focused) Written by Environmental Education Exchange with the help of over 70 local teachers and administrators Correlated to College and Career Readiness State Standards NGS Standards being implemented Wealth of activities, but also a springboard for digging deeper in renewable energies Claudine

Energy Literacy WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
7
Resources What are Natural resources? What are Renewable resources?
What are Nonrenewable resources?
8
Resources and Electricity
What resources are used to generate electricity? Which resources used to generate electricity are renewable? What is Clean Energy?
9
What are all the things students/people should know about energy?
Energy Literacy What are all the things students/people should know about energy? Brainstorm your ideas on Post-it notes Organize your ideas on chart paper Justify your thinking Robin

Forms of Energy 6-8, Unit 1, Lesson 3 Energy Transformations
11
Ability to do work or cause change
What is energy? Ability to do work or cause change Produces Warmth Produces Light Produces Sound Produces Movement Produces Growth
12
Classes of Energy Potential Kinetic
Stored energy or energy of position Gravitational Nuclear Chemical Kinetic Energy of motion Motion Electrical Sound Radiant Thermal
13
Potential Energy Gravitational Energy
Energy an object or substance has because of its position Anything βup highβ
14
Holds the atom together
Potential Energy Nuclear Energy Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom Holds the atom together
15
Potential Energy Chemical Energy The energy stored in the bonds between atoms Holds molecules together Perspective Drawing Molecular Formula
16
Kinetic Energy Mechanical (Motion) Energy Movement of objects or substances from one place to another .
17
Electrical Energy Movement of electrons
Kinetic Energy Electrical Energy Movement of electrons NOT AN ELECTRON PARADE!
18
Kinetic Energy Sound Energy
Movement of energy through substances in the form of longitudinal/compression waves
19
Radiant Energy Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
Kinetic Energy Radiant Energy Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
20
Kinetic Energy Thermal (Heat) Energy
Internal energy of a substance due to the vibration of atoms and molecules making up the substance
21
Energy Transfers Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed. Law of Conservation of Energy First Law of Thermodynamics Energy will always transfer from high to low. No energy transfer is 100% efficient.

Where Does Arizona Get Electricity?
There are 10 sections. Think in terms of fractions or percentages. If you color in 5 sections, that would be π π or 50%. If you colored in 3 sections, that would be π π or 30%. Try to think of all the resources Arizona uses. Assign a value to each. Robin

Simulating Electric Current
First: Point to tape on the floor and image on screen βYou have a complete circuit with an energy source (battery), a pathway (wire), and a load (in this case a bell).β Second step: Have a few teachers stand inside the battery on the appropriate sides βOur battery is charged with negative and positive ions so that free electrons will want to move when a pathway is created (an electromotive force is created by the difference in charges)β Third step: Have teacher pairs (negative and positive) stand along the βwireβ βEverything is made up of atoms, so we need atoms along the wire. We could be copper atoms, silver etc. (any type of conductor). We are a conductor so electrons will move easily here. But, until we are connected to the battery, there is no electromotive force. Therefore, we donβt move yet. We are stable.β Fourth step: Place the bell (or load) in the middle of the circuit. βWe want the electrical energy to do useful work for us. In this case we will use a bell. Every time an electron passes through the wires in the βalarm clockβ, the bell will ringβ Fifth step: Connect the wire! Teachers holding electron balls should displace each other along the wire. As they pass the βclockβ, that person will ring the bell. Once they have gotten to the other side of the battery they will match up with a positive ion. Once they have ALL gotten to the other side of the battery and are matched with a positive ion, they have reached stability. Itβs a DEAD BATTERY because there is no longer a difference in charges to create an electromotive force. The clock wonβt work and the battery must be replaced or recharged. Sixth step if time: Have teachers switch balls with another person (positive ions are now electrons etc.) Repeat the procedure.

Electromotive Force Set the switch to βIncanβ for incandescent bulbs.
Turn the generator and see if you can light all the lights. Now set the switch to βLEDβ and turn the generator again. What happened? Discuss at your table. Robin
